I like leupolds VXIII 2.5x8 x32 ....light, clear, and reliable...just a great scope for light short action rifles. Many custom rifle builders mount this scope on their finished product.

I got a 7mm08 and i have a simmons aetec 2 1/2-9. It lite, compact, and is like havind a 50 MM SCOPE BECAUSE OF ITS WIDE AREA OF VIEW. It picks up lite extremely well in the morning. I think it is actually brighter in the scope than with just my eyes. Never had a problem with it and im the person that is a hardcore hunter that punishes his equipment. They are worth the price...

RE: scope for 7MM08
 

I would pick it over my buddies leupold any day.....ONly thing nice about leupold is the warrenty.

RE: scope for 7MM08
 

That is a wonderful scope for lighter rifles too!

RE: scope for 7MM08
 

I can't see anybody that knows ANYTHING about scopes to choose a simmons OVER leupold.

RE: scope for 7MM08
 

AMEN!!!

I'm with steelerzzz. I have the Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8 on my 7-08AI. It has the perfect balance for quick shots in the timber and the power needed for those longer than normal shots. Leupolds are also known for their long eye relief. I bought a 300WinMag from my brother. He had a 3x9 Simmons on it. I cut the bridge of my nose every time I pulled the trigger. It has been replaced with a Leupold VX III 3.5-10 with the Boone & Crockett reticle.

You forgot about Leupold's superior eye relief, its distortion free lenses, its superior brightness and the way way better coatings, as well as its renown reliability.
Other than that I guess the Simmons is as good. ;)
